How Do I Buy A Blanket?

Tutu Lu makes every blanket herself from start to finish. Because of that, inventory is very limited.

Blankets are released once a month. Drops happen on the 1st of every month at 8:00 AM Hawaii Time at www.meaandmono.com.

How drops work:

  1. 1On the first of every month at 8 AM Hawaii Time, the website goes live with her current stock.
  2. 2Go to www.meaandmono.com and place your order, blankets are $250.
  3. 3The shop stays open until we sell out, then closes until the first of the next month.

If you miss a drop, don't give up. Inventory moves quickly, but a new batch is released on the first of every month. Joining the newsletter is the best way to get a reminder so you don't miss the next one.

The Blanket

For many in Hawaiʻi, these quilts are deeply nostalgic, bringing back memories of growing up with a beloved blanket made by their tutu. Blanket size is 52X65, a large rectangle lap blanket (they can cover the top of a twin) 100% cotton. Even the batting inside is cotton. Machine wash and it gets softer and softer with time 🙌🙌 Each blanket is one of a kind. She chooses fabrics, color combines and cuts all the squares and sew all of it herself. They are so comfey and they last for years and years... However, she stopped sewing for the past 10 years but now she feeling better after losing weight so she’s happy to be back at it and is very excited to share her designs. She has also recently added Japanese fabrics from japan into her patchwork.

What is Mea & Mono?

Two words. Two languages. One meaning.

Mea

HAWAIIAN

The Hawaiian word for thing. Simple, grounded, and a little untranslatable — the way the best Hawaiian words tend to be.

物 — Mono

JAPANESE

The Japanese word for thing. Used for the everyday objects you keep, wear, and pass on. Same idea, different island.

"Hawaii is in my blood. Japan is in my heart. Sharing things I love from both."
